Most people think of Ikebana as simply a Japanese style of arranging flowers. But Ikebana is much more than that. Ikebana is a powerful means of self-expression and it develops our ability to see in new ways. We present “Ikebana Experience for tourists” to share this aesthetic art and already welcomed wonderful guests from all over the world, more than 50 countries.
